•Granting moderator rights to another user
 

 

Room permissions set by moderator

 

Global and room limitations set by admin are inherited by all chat room users and cannot be overridden by moderator. However, a moderator can set additional limitations for chat room users. Let's see how this works:

 

1.Click the chat room avatar and select "Permissions" from the context menu
 

 

2.Under "Current Room Permissions" select "Permissions for all users in [Group Name]". Other permissions settings are available as read-only since they can be updated only by Virola admin
 

 

3.On the appeared window a moderator can see which permissions were granted and which were denied and change permissions to denied if necessary. However, it is not possible to change inherited "denied" permission to "granted"

 

1.Inherited "granted" permission

2.Inherited "denied" permission

3.Set by chat room moderator "denied" permission
 

4.Moderator can restrict permissions which were inherited as "granted"
